Baby Love

It seems to be a common theme lately - rockers putting their pens to paper to write about new life, domesticity and a calmed kind of happiness. Peaking Lights, a husband and wife electro-pop duo, have followed suit in taking nearly seven minutes of this ethereal chant to praise their new son Mikko - and let me just say, it's hard not to feel the love. From first dreamy pulse of the piano and lead songstress (and proud Momma) Dunis' haunting coo about her "beautiful son" and how "dreams are sweet when they turn real" - I was entranced in the profound sunset sounds. All the way from the flickering keyboards to the interjecting bluesy and hopeful riff - it's the most blissful musical toast to new life.
